Cameron LaPoint’s research explores topics at the intersection of real estate, finance, and urban economics. His current work examines the role of household financial constraints in residential climate-proofing and green energy technology adoption. Much of his research studies how tax policy and financial regulation influence investor behavior in real estate markets. Through his work on the links between property tax delinquency and gentrification, he has advised legal teams working on cases related to the constitutionality of local property tax foreclosure procedures. In other research, Cameron examines how the location decision of firms, and where they choose to invest in response to local tax incentives, matters for local economic development and regional inequality. At Yale School of Management, Cameron teaches MBA and Law elective courses in real estate finance, including courses on Housing Markets and Commercial Real Estate Investing. Cameron earned a PhD in economics from Columbia University in 2020 and studied at Kyoto University as a Fulbright Fellow in 2013-2014.
